To Whom It May Concern:

 Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the rewrite of the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. My name is S.

As an advocate for the fire and life safety of Virginians and those visiting the Commonwealth, I would like to add my name to the comments made by the Virginia Fire Prevention Association and the Virginia Fire Chiefs Association.

Safest regards,
